Email Marketing As An Effective Marketing Tool

posted on: December 8th, 2009

The use of spam or unwanted emails in the past has given the use of email marketing a bad name, but if used ethically, email marketing can be a highly efficient marketing tool. The latest technology means that your emails are more likely to be blocked by a spam filter or listed as junk, so it is important to receive a customer's permission to send them emails. By creating an interesting newsletter that contains useful, pertinent information you will be able to forge a bond between yourself and the customer, building your brand and reputation. There are many reasons to create an email marketing campaign as a form of direct marketing. By tailoring your emails to specific types of recipient you will encourage people to open and read the emails as they will be relevant and useful. This is also a powerful way to reinforce your brand and build a reputation as someone who can be trusted to give expert advice and information. Email marketing is also a good way to follow up sales. In a bricks and mortar business you make a sale and never see the customer again. With the use of email marketing you can offer a newsletter or something of value to your customer in return for their name and email. After building a good relationship with the customer you may be able to follow up the initial sale with another product of high value. Using the services of a professional email marketing company can ensure that the latest technology is used when creating your campaign. Here at Click Consult we have the latest technology which allows us to build a campaign for you which will achieve maximum return on investment.

Creating An Email Newsletter

posted on: December 3rd, 2009

Once you have a customer's email address and name you want to keep their interest in your brand. A newsletter is a good way to incorporate the latest updates and special offers with information about your business. A newsletter or E-zine is a regular bulletin sent out to customers electronically. The frequency that you send out emails has to be considered carefully. If you send too many emails you will become annoying and pretty soon your customers will either delete your emails without reading them or opt out of receiving your newsletter. If you don't send the newsletter often enough, you won't build a reputation with your customer and they will lose interest. Make sure you put your contact details on your newsletter such as your name, telephone number and website address. A customer is more likely to trust you and purchase from you if they are able to contact you. If a customer has queries, they will appreciate being able to contact you for an answer and therefore more likely to make a purchase. Rather than promoting your products or brand directly, you should promote subscription to your newsletter. You will be giving information rather than a direct sale. Building a reputation with customers and being recognised in this way will encourage future sales with customers. Provide links to your website throughout the newsletter to encourage people to visit, which is where you are making sales. Email marketing can be conducted in various frequencies and employing the services of a reputable marketing company such as Click Consult can help you build a powerful email marketing campaign to maximise your products or services to your list of subscribers.
